Ericka brings a strong blend of financial expertise, operational leadership, and people-focused thinking to her role at Michael St. Jean Realty, where she is a key member of the management team supporting the CEO, leadership group, administrative staff, agents, and clients.
She completed her Business degree with honours at Wilfrid Laurier University, alongside a minor in Psychology—an intentional combination that reflects her interest in both business and human behaviour. Upon graduation, she returned to Laurier to complete her graduate studies in accounting and then earned her CPA (Chartered Professional Accountant) designation in 2020. During her university years, Ericka worked as a marking assistant and tutor, discovering an early passion for teaching, mentoring, and educating others.
Ericka began her professional career at BDO as a CPA, where she spent five years as an auditor gaining exposure to a wide range of industries, business models, and both corporate and personal taxation. She later transitioned into the corporate accounting world, working in Toronto for a billion-dollar organization for just over five years, further strengthening her analytical, financial, and strategic skill set.
Raised in a small town by entrepreneurial parents who were both business owners, Ericka developed a strong work ethic early on and a deep appreciation for what it means to build something through discipline and effort. While she values her small-town roots, she also loves the energy of big cities and feels Ancaster offers the perfect balance of both.
Known for being detail-oriented, transparent, and solutions-driven, Ericka brings a strong financial perspective, analytical mindset, and clear communication style to everything she does. She is competitive by nature and a passionate sports fan who thrives on teamwork, strategy, and high performance.
Outside of work, Ericka enjoys spending time with friends and family, escaping to the cottage, exploring fashion and home décor, discovering new restaurants, travelling, and staying active through pilates, running, golf and tennis. You can find her unwinding from a busy day at work with a good book or a puzzle. Giving back is important to her, and she is passionate about volunteering her time and contributing to initiatives that strengthen the community and support those in need.
